Hess Select: Sauvignon Blanc

Hess Select
Sauvignon Blanc
California, 2009

This is one of my favorite white wines. It is fantastic, especially chilled. Tastes of honey but never oversweet or at all cloying. Delicate, fresh, interesting. It has a lovely pale golden color and is gorgeous in the sun. It is excellent on its own but also pairs well with more delicate cheeses, fruit, salads, etc. Particularly good as a summer wine, but certainly enjoyable all year round. This is a wine that keeps giving (and for such a good price - ~$10-12).

Highly recommended. The 2011 vintage is also good, I believe.

Corked; pours well; lovely blue and gold label.
